Chapter 696: Purchase
The tall tower in the center of Metroidvania is slowly increasing in height layer by layer.
With their manpower, they want to build this tower one day, and it seems that there is no problem, but the problem is the speed at which the cement dries.
When the cement is not dry, they do not dare to build it high.
Therefore, there are not many grassland people assigned to work in the tower.
Because the assigned work gradually decreased, they had to start applying to look far and wide for means to make money.
The south is where the caravans come to this place at the fastest speed.
The first to arrive was not the Central Water Tower District of Chang'an, or the Qian Family Farm, but the Jinmai City, which seemed to be relatively far away.
The way they came was by rail transport plus river transport. The dispatch was a riverboat built in Qinhuangdao.
In this era, the Yellow River was navigable, and there were not as many waterfalls and rapids.
They swim against the current and soon arrive at Metroidvania.
The galaxy of Metroidvania City was originally the Yellow River.
In this era, the Yellow River has not yet become yellow and turbid.
At least in the Loess Plateau and the Hetao area, it is still a habitable area, and the soil erosion of the Yellow River is not so serious.
As the caravans from the south came in, Metroidvania became more lively, and the caravans came in, giving them another option. That's doing business with caravans.
You must know that the caravan brought by the ship is not a single caravan, but countless caravans.
At this time, above the Yellow River, there was no army of the Han Dynasty guarding it.
These caravans accepted a very diverse mode of trade, that is, barter, and were willing to buy their things with the Han and copper coins.
You know, all the food they want to buy now is in copper coins, unless they trade privately.
Qian Rujun didn't care about their private transactions.
But Qian Rujun forbade everyone to rob these caravans.
Even as long as it is a caravan that is coming to Metroidvania, it is forbidden to rob.
As for what they brought, they are willing to let them buy it with copper money.
They bring a lot of ingredients, which makes the women who do business pay special attention, and the women who do business, they have a lot of money on them, and they want to buy it. And when they bought it, they found a good thing.
Even if they didn't know how to cook the food, the caravan people were willing to teach them some easy methods.
For women who are doing well in business, of course, they know how important it is for them to get the recipe.
But instead of taking all the copper coins back, they used all the copper coins in this place to procure, and when the money was gone, they got on the boat and went back to the south.
The grassland people feel that the southern Han people seem to want everything, lack everything, and do not need to rob, just go outside the galaxy city, or on the Yin Mountain, they can gather or hunt a lot of things that the southerners want.
After hearing about it, there are also southerners who will come to this place one after another, and many of them will start their own labor after eating.
Because they are free, they can find what works best for them.
Of course, they will also pay attention to what southerners prefer and what prices are higher in order to obtain higher profits.
The steppe people found that they seemed to be able to earn more money and obtain supplies.
Qian Rujun told them that now is the best time to make money, and the price may not be so high in the future.
When they have accumulated enough money, they will be able to open their own shops, and the inner and outer city circles of shops are prepared for them.
Even, if they have enough food, they can open a canteen.
In the past, they produced everything for their own needs, but their ability to produce it was limited, and they had to eat the same thing almost every day.
But through the exchange, they found that they could exchange their things for something called coins, and then buy other items to eat back, although there was a slight loss, but it was useless for them to produce their own superfluous things.
Being able to turn something that is useless into something that can be used, they are considered to have earned it.
It is very simple for the steppe people to calculate whether they are making or losing.
The grassland people were aroused to make money, even if there was no money, there were some supplies.
In this case, they took the initiative to ask to go to other tribes to buy some things and come back to Galaxy City to exchange.
For those who want to find other grassland tribes in exchange for supplies, Qian Rujun maintains an approving attitude.
But she was very worried that they would go to other tribes and rob them.
people, Qian Rujun didn't dare to give less, if they gave less, they would likely be attacked instead.
In the steppe, these raids would have been normal.
However, whether they are going to buy or rob, in short, the goods of Metroidvania will increase, and the tribes that have been robbed will find that something is not quite right after being robbed for a long time, and these people want everything as if they want everything, not just food.
They will definitely send someone out to take a look, at least they will find out that there is now Metroidvania, and there is also the business of Metroidvania.
In order to speed up this progress, Qian Rujun put shackles on some of the grassland people, that is, let the students of Xuetang Island follow to promote Metroidvania.
The steppe is very large, but they have at least taken the first step. Begin to go to distant tribes to spread the word about their trade.
Of course, the so-called propaganda is not to give paper or put up a leaflet, but to buy things in a real way, as long as they get benefits through purchase, they can truly integrate into this business and trade circle.
Qian Rujun knew that the grassland people didn't like money, and this kind of thing couldn't be used in the grassland.
So in addition to letting them bring some of the money, Qian Rujun also asked them to bring light materials such as salt.
What they carried with them were all necessary things for the steppe people.
Although they couldn't bring things like iron pots, Qian Rujun still asked them to bring fired pottery or porcelain, as well as all kinds of things that could hold items, these things and tools would be more useful to them, and they would also drag them down and make them feel that it was hard to move.
Even Qian Rujun, let them bring seeds, maybe some grassland people will find that they can grow things, in fact, they don't have to work so hard to move around, living by water and grass, it is very romantic to say, but in fact it is a very hard behavior, when they migrate, they will encounter a lot of dangers.
Qian Rujun is not willing to be lonely, he spends all day in the sky, and now the Huotou Army has stopped cooking.
Started to be in charge of various departments. But the effect of their management is not very good, and more importantly, they do not know the documents issued by Qian Rujun.
"Because you don't know how to read, and you don't know the key points of management, so a hundred of you start now, we will teach you to know words, you only have a hundred days, after a hundred days, if you can meet our requirements, you can be a high-level in this city, senior managers, even if you want to pick up your relatives to come to live, there is no problem, if you don't take the people from your family to live, you can return to Chang'an after having the grade of an official in this place, you can also be a petty official, you come on!"
"What if you can't learn?" The Firehead asked.
"If you can't learn, you can't be an official, you can only be a big man to receive rewards. Then I waited for the right time to fight. Qian Rujun said seriously.
To be honest, she really thought so in her heart.
So in addition to the time of work, the Huotou Army began, living a gloomy life, of course, some people were out of school since childhood, so that they did not know words, but the degree of acceptance of words is still very high, so they just began to divide the levels between each other.
"Little Lai, how can you recognize the words when you see them, I haven't recorded a word in the past ten days, why is there so much difference between people. ”
Although it is more dangerous to stay here as an official, it is still an official. Attractive to some of the Fireheads.
Even if you don't want to stay, you want to learn some words secretly, and when you go back, you will be able to stand proudly and not look envious when you see the reader.
"It doesn't matter, you can learn as much as you can, those 12345, don't you learn very well? I can't learn it yet! When I see those calculations, my head grows. ”
"It's true that there is a job, but this grade may not be so high. "It's probably the most painful thing for them to compare with their brothers.
"You two don't have to brag to each other, what about people like us who can't learn anything. ”
Xiao Wang held it in his hand, and wanted to write down the two pieces of paper, but unfortunately there was no way. At this time, his face was full of tears.
"Actually, if you know how to read, don't just look at the words, you can see what you see on the street, and think about how to write that word, and over time you will know, look at the house, that's it, look at the house, it's like that, look at the beautiful woman like that, don't you gradually be able to recognize the words? Even if we don't recognize the words they prescribe, we can learn by ourselves, and we can increase the number of words we know with each other. Moreover, our Han is a hieroglyph, and most of the characters can be seen from the glyphs what he originally meant. After the pictographs are familiar, some of the pictographs can be judged. ”
There are very few literate people in the Han Dynasty, so they have a lot of respect for those who are literate and literate.
In the ordinary countryside, if you meet a person who is literate, or even just know the name, people will regard it as an existence similar to a little fairy, so although it is very bitter, these firehead soldiers, get the opportunity to read or write very hard and seriously, no matter how much they can learn, in short, even if they learn theirs, even if they can't learn it temporarily, they also find a way to mark the sound, ready to learn it slowly in the future, as long as someone teaches them words, they will keep it, but the symbols they recorded, no one really can understand it.
Paper is also a valuable item in Chang'an, ordinary people can not get, even if the paper, three palms wide, three palms long, a penny long, not ordinary people can afford it, if there is no special function, they will not buy a few back, but the ancestors of the paper, but relatively cheap, about only, one-tenth of the price.
It's a pity that it is still not very convenient to write on dark paper, because it is not very inky and wrinkled.
All, everything is going on in an orderly manner, Qian Rujun is in the sky, very much like a god, looking at the green earth, she feels that her heart has become infinitely open. However, there are boundaries between heaven and earth.
But looking at the unchanged scenery, she gradually began to be depressed again, she felt that she was born to be a wanderer, if she could not be allowed to wander, she would feel that she was about to stop breathing, although she was alive like a dead person.
Over the years, she can only move between Chang'an and Jinmai City, which can be regarded as suffering for her, and now when she can go to the sky to move, she feels that her degree of freedom should become higher, at least he can see farther and go farther without being noticed by others.
She wondered if she would disappear from people's sight and sneak out by herself when she returned.
But if she runs out secretly, and there is no trouble with the students of Xuetang Island, it will be really troublesome, and no one can help her solve it, and she already knows that her ability to do things is not very good. She was also reluctant to send the students of Xuetang Island back to Xuetang Island.
Someone still has to help her solve the specific affairs, she can only look at it and talk about it, put forward her ideas, but I really don't know how to implement it. The students of Gakudo Island are the ones who can concretely talk about her thoughts and actions.
In the space, she put this idea with the students of Gakudo Island:
"I want to go out and play, is there a way to keep others from discovering and I can go further afield?"
"Didn't the princess say, there is a lake in the North Sea that is very deep, the princess calls it Baikal, and that lake is also very big and very deep, you want to go there to see, now is the right time, when it passes, spring should have come."
It's also relatively close to Lake Baikal, and we are not familiar with the situation there, maybe we can send one of them first, and for the time being this place shouldn't be too much of a problem, and if we can gather enough people near Lake Baikal, we can also build a city next to it, and we can come and see it when we have time in the future, and by the way, expand our territory to the north. ”
Collecting manpower, Qian Rujun knows how good it will be for her to collect points in a new place.
"If you want to expand the country, you must first tell the emperor. Otherwise the emperor would have been angry. ”
Although Qian Rujun said this, she began to have a calculation in her heart, for her, Russia in the north is actually a treasure land, and now there are no strong ethnic groups in this place, most of the people are hungry savages, and it is not too much burden for her to take down this place.
Even if the savages are relatively strong, under the brainwashing technique, they actually have no ability to resist.
Qian Rujun was very interested in Lake Baikal, and even in her previous life, she did not pay much attention to this place. It's strange to this place.
I heard that there were many creatures in Lake Baikal, which were later exterminated by the Baikal industrial zone.
